With everything that's been going on, if you don't see the writing on the wall you'll have only yourself to blame once the you-know-what hits the fan.
Get ready people, this will be a bumpy ride. Those who have a chance to get off before it even starts will be among the few lucky ones.
Make total sense! Thanks for letting me know! Time to start looking for other employment. I won't receive much severance since I only been here less than a year
Yes!!!!! They lie all the time. As another post mentioned, “they are worse than used car salesmen”.
A decision such an a exit from dsd has to take literally years to prepare for. They say “we” are committed to dsd, but when the ball drops their out will be that it wasn’t their decision. That is how they will justify their behavior, they were committed but retailers were not. Whether we exit in a month or 6 months, believe me they have been gearing up for retailers to go warehouse for a long time. After close to 20 years their pattern of lies has caught up to them!
Do upper management lie to you? I've only worked for Mondelez for almost a year. Should I start looking for another job?
Than believe him. Maybe buy a house or new car. When the announcement come we are leaving dsd and you lose your job, you still gonna believe your dm? That’s how they operate, been around 20 yrs and seen it a lot!
What are the major changes coming? Everything is status quo here. No layoffs. We're growing! We're actually hiring. My DM said that we may add a territory.
Pen and phone been killing nabisco atleast some people on here see it dsd is dead look after yourself
Anyone who believes we are going to be paid to tweek and adjust orders is simply an id--t! Dsd is ending and every red flag is being waved in your face. I’m not a troll, or the hit send guy, just a rep with nabisco for almost 20 years. If you don’t see what is coming you really should start to look for other employment now, you may need a little extra time. Not a single chance in hell dsd isn’t going away, and after Keebler’s exit management is doing all they can to keep the wheels on until the end. One team one dream is their campaign to attempt to make people feel safe, as anyone knows management will lie, cheat, and steal to get things done! Wake up and don’t be a victim! When the announcement is made they won’t feel an ounce of sympathy for you or anyone else!
Get on with these major changes fellows! Enough already! Time to cut the cord on DSD! This company sets you up to fail. We can't compete with a Pen and phone! Game over already!
The only commitment Dirk has is to make money for his shareholders! Your living in lala land!! Dsd is going away!! Watch and see!!
Dirk is committed to DSD!! We're not going away from DSD. Just CAO at Walmart. We still tweak and adjust orders as needed.
Don’t believe the fake news nabisco cheerleader below game over soon
We are not going anywhere. Only CAO at Walmart which most vendors are now. Not really effecting much at all. We still adjust and add to order with no issues. Nothing to worry about.
Stay till the end. Take the severance and whatever you can get from this company. They'll be jobs out there when it's time. Good luck everyone!
Keebler is not hiring merchandisers again, fake news! They have reps that handle the entire Kellogg portfolio. They have 100 minutes in a store on average, not nearly enough time to start to merchandise Keebler. If the product is there, the problem lies with the retailers getting it to the floor! Problem the same with all grocery items in those stores!
Yep game over!! Won't be much longer now! DSD is dead
Yes there is no law requiring severance that's why most states give you almost 6 months of unemployment, and yes the severance plan can change at anytime but since we are not going out of business or going bankrupt there really isn't a reason they would change it or not offer one.
It in my opinion at the moment there is more argument that there will be a possibility of a retention pay out and severance
just because there not required by law is not an argument
Yep, it is very poorly run. No sacrifice is too big. There is no federal law regarding severance and if you read the fine print, it can be changed at any time. I suffered this long, may as well milk it to the end. Looking forward to having a life again.
Yep game over soon folks! It's been a good ride. Spent 7 year's here. Time to move on. Bigger and better things for all! Mondelez has treated us very poorly the last few years! Hope the severance is worth staying around for.
Nabisco/Mondalez will be warehouse in 1st quarter 2019. May start sooner in certain parts of the country.
DSD is to expensive, Keebler/Kellogg has become very profitable with lower expenses. With lower labor expenses Kellogg is able to go to market with a reduced price at retail and it is working.
No DSD exit this year!!!! All fake news here look at the old threads of people trying to say the date where leaving or announcing
Not one has happened. There is one that says July 9 and that date will come and go like the rest. In September there will be a thing with Dirks new vision for the next couple of year and that wont include a DSD exit it will be the opposite with us picking up tates.
There will be changes coming but not dsd exit. We will probably have less sales reps and more full time order writers, possibly loseing our cars, and some kind of restructuring, but no dsd exit planed in the near future. There going to wait at least 2-3 years after keblers exit to see how it works and right now in 50-70% of stores it's not working right that's why they are hiring merchandisers again We are not going to go until they see if kebler can do it right
Remind your DM he said that when you get the call that dsd is over!! He won’t care!
why would u believe your dm that the person who doesn’t want mass exodus they will tell u anything to drag u accross the finish line game over soon look after yourself hit send on your resume
We'll be ok folks! My DM said that we're committed to DSD. Tate's coming in the fall will make us stronger. Another power brand to add to our all star lineup!
Keebler saving about 500 million no dsd. What will nabisco save? It's a no brainer
We will go warehouse everywhere eventually. Walmart is 1st. Nabisco will do it differently than Keebler did. It will be a longer drawn out process
When your competitor has better pricing more mandated displays with corporate buy ins with lower cost dsd is dead nabisco can’t compete the game is over soon don’t believe the nabisco cheerleaders on herr
We will never go fully Warehouse. You sad elves are pathetic on here.
Elves or no elves something will be announced in September. Be prepared. No way Nabisco will continue this path
And in September when Dirk says nothing about going warehouse the elves will be back here saying its coming early 2019
Layoffs coming in waves. Walmart will be going warehouse soon. Announcement coming in September
Keebler been killing nabisco at retail better pricing lower costs mandated display and corporate. Buys nabisco can’t compete with dsd like someone said kellogg beats nabisco with a pen and phone everyday game over
Tate's will not be going DSD.
DSD will be over.
Waves of layoffs is how it's going to go.
I'm not arguing that our jobs are safe because of tates my argument has always been that we are not going warehouse, they could fire us all tomorrow for all I know and have a 3rd party to order and pack out
Warehouse just doesn't work for 50-70% of our stores look at kebler in big regional areas that aren't dominated by just 2 chains kebler has been dying out there. If the chain doesn't own there own warehouses like many regional chains dont we have been killing it and kebler runs empty all the time
If u think your job is safe because of tate’s Then I got a couple bridges to sell u dsd is soon to be dead
Tate’s on the Mondelez trucks on the way to retailers warehouse by 2019! I’ll buy that!
Nobody knows anything!
Go to work do your job and what happens happens!
Only Dirk and his cronies know his vision.
We can all speculate but no one will know till we get the conference call when DSD will be ending.
TATES ON NABISCO TRUCKS BY 2019
OMG, keep deaming. Not in a million years
In that area tates is currently handled mostly by 3rd party vendors with there own warehouses which are currently going to be loseing that proudut soon some where even brought out of there contracts I herd. They have had most of there growth not with warehouse model but with someone bringing in that product in, so it makes sence that if the 3rd partys are losing it and dirk said tates will use DSD that the NY based company will need some space to start distributing it on mdlz trucks
You don’t actually think West Chester depot expanded to support Tate’s do you? Wowzers! Way off! May be the single most unintelligent statement to date!!!
Did your DM tell you that?😭
